    Brown-black discharge 5yrs after a hysterectomy
    :confused: I had a hysterectomy 5 yrs ago. Today I feel a dripping go to the bathroom and a have a brown-black discharge in my panties that I just felt come out of me. It did not smell like blood... but it did smell. It wasn't a strong smell. I have been married for28 yrs... we had sex one week ago could this be left over semen?? I take a bath twice a day. I have never had this happen before could this be him and if it is why would it stay in me this long. There has been no more discharge since. what could this be???????
    I have an appt with my OBGYN next week for my yearly... should I wait or call and let them know?

    Hi I just had my shot for birthcontrol I got my period August 15, 2007 and I still have it and its August 30, 2007, I was bleeding for a weeks straight it was OK until I found some black/brown discharge that coming out of me. It was coming and going but now I am getting it all the time. I am a little worried and I just want to know if it is just from birthcontrol. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday August 4, 2007. And I just really want to know what is wrong. Thank you.

    Unless you have been standing on your head for a week chances are it's not leftover semen, and birth control can cause blood clots depending on the type. Even after a hysterectomy or while on birth control it is not unheard of for one to get pregnant you just normally miscarry. In the end though when in doubt check with your doctor and sooner rather than later. Even just a phone call to them, or a nurse monitored health line if you have one in your area.

    All right, I don't think I'm pregnant and I don't think I have an STD. I've been on the birth control pill for a little over a year and haven't had sex in two months, so I am not pregnant. I was tested for STDs about 8 months ago, and have been with only one partner so I don't have any STDs. Lately I have been experiencing dark brown almost black discharge, which started only 4 days after my last period. At first, I thought that maybe it was left over from my period, but it's continued and gotten heavier. I have noticed slimey clot-like stuff in this discharge and the streaks it leaves on my underwear is black and brown and looks like poop! I'm so confused and I wish I could go to the doctor, but I don't have health insurance! Does anyone have any thoughts or advice? What could cause this?

    Go to your nearest health department, they will check you for free. It could be from an etopic pregnancy. It could be lots of things even cancer, do not delay!! Go ASAP!
